This comedian, who replaced Jon Stewart on The Daily Show, wrote a memoir about his childhood in South Africa, as the son of a black mother and a white father...which was literally against the apartheid law at the time. He is poignant, wise, kind, humorous, and informative. He absolutely credits his mother for what he has achieved, due to her ferocious insistence on education and good behavior, in a time and place where this was virtually impossible to achieve. This was a great book!
